SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the cultural phenomenon of twerking, particularly in relation to Miley Cyrus's influence following her "Wrecking Ball" music video. Participants debate the physical implications of twerking, humorously suggesting that excessive twerking could lead to structural damage due to resonant frequencies. The term "twerk" is defined as a sexually provocative dance style, and the conversation highlights the mixed public perception of Cyrus's artistic choices, including her record sales and the backlash she faces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of popular dance trends and their cultural significance.
  • Familiarity with Miley Cyrus's music and public persona.
  • Knowledge of basic physics concepts related to resonance and structural integrity.
  • Awareness of social media's role in shaping public opinion on celebrities.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of viral videos on music sales and artist reputation.
  • Explore the history and evolution of dance styles in popular culture.
  • Investigate the psychological effects of public backlash on celebrities.
  • Learn about the physics of sound waves and resonance in relation to physical activities.
USEFUL FOR

Anyone interested in contemporary dance trends, cultural studies, or the dynamics of celebrity influence, including sociologists, music industry professionals, and fans of pop culture.

How does high record sales = good publicity necessarily? I hope you know that many artists have sold a multitude of records due to exactly the opposite.

Wait, that's basically the definition. Good publicity is publicity that increases sales/money.

I'm still having trouble getting by an assertion made in the OP:



:rolleyes:

The assertion was the frivolous bit. Or would it be better to call it the cheeky bit? The serious bit was asking whether the bum could fall off. :bugeye:

Do we ban Greg for posting this video?

Perhaps he didn't have the audio on when he watched it.

Should I push the "report" button, or repost the video on his wife's Facebook page?
